Gilman, Jr., and Frederick J. Rauner, both of Kodak Park, Rochester, N.Y. 14650 Filed July 9, 1970, Ser. No. 53,629 Int. Cl. G03c J/28 U.S. Cl. 96-107 No Drawing. 25 Pages Specification Direct positive photographic silver halide emulsions, such as those described in Berriman U.S. Pat. 3,367,778 issued Feb. 6, 1968 or lllingsworth U.S. Pat. 3,501,307 issued Mar. 17, 1970, are sensitized with chloranil, a 1,2- orthoquinone, an acridine, an acridone or a thiacridone. Preferred sensitizers include chloranil, 4-phenyl-1,2-orthoquinone, and compounds having one of the following formulas:

wherein R represents a hydrogen atom, a phenyl group or an aminophenyl group; R represents an alkoxy group of :1 nitro group; R represents a hydrogen atom or a phenoxy group; R represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a nitro group; R represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or an alkyl group; R represents a hydrogen atom or an alkoxy group; R R and R each represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or an alkoxy group; and, R represents alkyl or aryl. A typical direct positive silver halide emulsion contains 4-phenyl- 1,2-orthoquinone or 7-tetramyl-3-chloro-thioacridine or 3,7 dichlorothioacridone or 2-chloro-7-methoxy-5-phenoxyacridine as sensitizer and S-m-nitrobenzylidenerhodanine as electron acceptor.
